vice president, thank you for joining us. back in 1988, you, of course, ran for vice president yourself. you know what the national campaigns are like, the stress of that. but you had in 1982 cosponsored legislation with ted kennedy for a job training program. it was something that the reagan white house didn't even want and you got together with ted kennedy, because he reached out to you as a young senator, of the opposite party, and that's the way he worked. >> that is the way he worked. and your memory is quite good. look, when ted kennedy reached across the divide in the senate and joined in a bipartisan way, it usually worked. at that particular time, i was chairman of the employment subcommittee and had an outline of a bill, took it to him, he made some amendments. and andrea, once he gave me his word, you could put it in the bank. this was the way he was. he was a person that would work hard, a passion for life, a passion for people. and the senate and the country is going to really miss him, even though we, obviously,
